What is needed

What we need

Props: We will be using props in our opening scene. We want the bodies to be realistic so we will want to use things like fake blood and put them on the bodies, to make it look as though they have been murdered. Because we want the murders to be linked, we need to have something on the bodies which is distinctive on all of them, and we could do this by using the fake blood.

Another prop which we might need is a body bag. This would be to cover the bodies in a scene where the main character is with them. This way it would make it seem more realistic, in the fact that it will look like a crime scene. We can either use a proper body bag or try and use things like bin bags.

Another prop we will need is police line tape. Again, this is to make each scene as realistic as possible. The tape will make it seem as though the area inside is off limits because of what has happened.

We will also be using a phone for the beginning of our sequence. We are going to use the film to show one of the texts to say who the company. For example we could say companies like Warner Brothers or something like that. The phone we will be using is the Samsung Galaxy S3. The reason for this is because when someone calls it says their name and you can out a picture, and so we are going to do that.


Another prop we will need is a boiler suit for the forensic scientist. This is the one we are going to use. The reason for this is because we think it fits in with the genre well, and it looks quite realistic. 
















Location
We are going to be using different locations in our film. The reason for this is because we want all three murders to be in different locations. This is to build tension and the fact that the main character believes that their is a serial killer on the lose. 

One of the locations is in a field, and we think something like this (left) is a good location. The field is a big size and would be a good location because of this. It is also right next to other fields so if this one happens to be unavailable then we can use any of the others. It is also right next to houses, and because we are starting in the characters house it would make it tense because the murder would have been near his front door. Location is very important in films, and so we have to make sure that we have chosen suitable locations and i think we have done that for the first crime scene.

Another location we had in mind was to use a car park. The car park pictured (left) might not be the car park we use though however. We have another one in mind, but because it is on a new premises it is not on the internet to screenshot. But we think a car park like this is a good place to shoot one of out scenes. This is going to show the second murder case for the opening, and the size of the car park doesn't matter too much, as long as there aren't that many cars. Because they could make it seem a bit unrealistic in the fact that they wouldn't be there in a crime scene.

We are hoping this is the third and final location for our crime scene. The reason why i think this is a good location is because it is in the middle of nowhere, and so a perfect place to commit a murder. Another reason is because it is quite it is quite spooky and looks a bit rough, and these are things we need to build up the tension, and get the audience to ask questions like, who murdered them?, why did they commit the murders?...

Equipment
The equipment we will need are things like camera's and tripods to actually do the filming. This is obviously the most important piece of equipment because without this we will not be able to film the opening scene. We need to make sure that we do a range of different camera shots and heights in order to show our skills. We will also need a mac or a computer in order to do the editing once we have finished filming. We will use a suitable program in order to do this.

Actors
We will need different actors to play different roles in our opening sequence. Our main character will either be me or my partner, which leaves the role of three people to play dead bodies, and maybe someone to play the forensic scientist. The reason why i say maybe is because i am not sure if their is going to be any dialogue yet. If their is, then there will be one, but if their isn't, then we don't need one. We have got some actors sorted for out for when we need them, because we will be filming different scenes on different days. So far with have a main character and a 3 dead bodies.
